I hope Jimmy Brack finds the man. He's going at it the hard
way — a lot of experienced people could tell him you don't find
Scoutmasters by advertising for them.
But Jimmy was desperate when he wrote and paid for that ad.
He had moved from Texas to this small Kansas town, and he had
tried every way he knew to find a man who would help organize
a Scout Troop.
Finally he decided that if folks could fill most any kind of job
by advertising, he might be lucky too. Surely some good man would
see that this was one of the best jobs being offered in that or many
an issue of the local paper.
It didn't work. Mrs. Dale got her maid and the Grave's Drug
Store probably got a good clerk, but so far as we know Jimmy
Brack hasn't found a Scoutmaster. At least it hadn't worked when
I was writing this — I checked in the Registration Service and
there wasn't any Troop registered yet in the town where Jimmy
lives.
It may be that the ad stirred the right folks into action. If so,
Jimmy will get his Troop. But I'm thinking of a lot of other little
towns and neighborhoods where boys are wanting to be Scouts
and not knowing how to go about it.
Jimmy Brack was speaking for everyone of those boys when he
wrote that ad, and what he was asking for was not just a Scout-
master — it was that the whole Scout organization function so that
there could be Scouting in his town.
Are there any spots in your "zone of responsibility" where boys
might say "wanted: a Scoutmaster," "wanted: a chance to be a
Scout?" If so, just imagine that ad was in your paper this week.
